Pasternak and Pushkin

[Alexandra Smith]

In addition to the suggestions to use the Staroe radio and Nortwestern  
university poetry collection sites, I would recommend to listen to  
Pasternak's own reciting of his poems (Razluka, Veter, V bol'nitse,  
Svidanie etc.) The address of this website is:  
http://bestpoets.narod.ru/pasternak.html

The site also contains several recordings featuring Akhmatova's  
recitals of her own poetry. (The list of poets includes Brodsky and  
Mandelshtam).

As for Pushkin's poetry, there is an interesting film on Pushkin  
(Vnov' ia posetil...) in which Smoktunovsky recites several poems:

There is also an excellent video featuring Sergei Iurskii's recital of  
Pushkin's Eugene  
Onegin:http://video.yandex.ru/users/realpayalnik/view/5/

All best,
Alexandra
